Hyaluronic acid is one of the main components of various anti-aging cosmetology procedures. This is a powerful moisturizer (thanks to the ability of this substance to hold around itself water molecules), which is part of many body tissues, including skin. The skin loses hyaluronic acid under the influence of aggressive environmental factors, as well as due to natural aging. The lack of hyaluronic acid leads to flabbiness, dryness, wrinkles, disruption of the blood supply to the skin. Replenishment of the stocks of this substance in the skin helps to prolong youth and get rid of some cosmetic problems.
To date, the only effective way to deliver hyaluronic acid to the deeper layers of the skin is mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid. This is the most popular procedure, which is offered by specialized clinics and cosmetology salons.
The essence of mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid
Face mesotherapy with the use of hyaluronic acid is a multiple intradermal microinjection with special preparations containing this substance. Hyaluronic acid is injected deep into the dermal layers along and perpendicular to the skin tension lines. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia.
This creates a kind of subcutaneous network of hyaluronic acid, which concentrates around itself water molecules and stimulates the production of elastin and collagen - substances responsible for the elasticity, elasticity and strength of tissues. As a result, the skin becomes more elastic, smooth and tightened, its barrier function is strengthened, and a high level of hydration is maintained.
Since mesotherapy is a medical invasive procedure, a history of the patient should be collected before starting it: what diseases the patient has undergone, previous mesotherapy injections, etc. The correct choice of the drug, the dosage, the number of procedures depends on this.
A full course of facial mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid can take up to five months - depending on the skin condition. On average, 5-8 procedures are performed (1 session in 7-14 days). The duration of the session is approximately 20 - 30 minutes. The course of mesotherapy should be periodically repeated to maintain the effect - at least once a year.
Preparations for face mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid for mesotherapy can be of natural and artificial origin. In addition to it, other active components - amino acids, antioxidants, mineral-vitamin complexes, etc., are included in the formulation. Thus, the skin is supplied with a cocktail, the combined effect of the ingredients of which helps to improve the structure of the skin.
